Just figured out the “map problem”. Not a problem with XPX – a problem with Track IR. Reinstalled, recalibrated, realigned, and everything appears to be back to normal. I had noticed that the problem seemed to occur when I was turning my head to look out to the side. Apparently, the alignment has somehow become more critical in recent updates. I hope this might help someone else who may have experienced a similar problem.

Usually it is the aircraft I am testing, not X-Plane in the different apps… but it does work like I noted if running between a beta and a stable XP version. It is always good to have the clear difference between the two apps 🙂

“well, if it was me I’d clock all the way down to 1600 as a start.”

Crazy talk. 😉 It’s actually that magic low-profile/low voltage samsung memory that was made a few years ago, 1.35v spec up to 1.5v (so running in spec with adjusted timings). I don’t believe the BSOD was RAM related. The system is solid at 2000 and was at 2133…i think driver related. My R9 280x throws artifacts with the Carenado B200 and some different artifacting (more of a flashing box rather than streaks across the screen) with the FlyJSim Q400. Annoying to be sure, but still usable. Running 2560×1440 and video temps at 60C to 65C with load at 60%. CPU load of around 40 to 50% with low temps. Getting 18 to 26 FPS normally depending on clouds.

I can run FurMark on the video card to get temps well above 70C with no artifacts. Video is not overclocked. This seems to point to drivers but I can’t be sure.

If the crash report doesn’t clearly show a problem with the ACF (sometimes it’s obvious) then the problem has to be diagnosed by picking a different airplane.

I may be conservative, btu if your RAM is spec’d at 1600 and you have a BSOD…well, if it was me I’d clock all the way down to 1600 as a start. 🙂

Again the DEMO is handy if X-Plane is in a beta run, I update the main app but keep the DEMO still clean if I need to test or check between the main app and the original DEMO version, If the main goes down or becomes corrupt I then rebuild a clean beta as a new main app… I rarely have to do this, but it saves a lot of hair pulling 🙂

I haven’t updated to Yosemite yet, I now take the advice and now wait and is not anymore a first responder, Apple and co now use you as a beta tester for the software and I never now buy anything that is brand new but wait now for version two or even three before purchasing or upgrading software.

New user here with about 80 hours in the sim. I’ve had one or two BSOD’s…one for sure was memory management. I down-clocked my RAM from 2133 to 2000 and while I’m not sure that was the issue, it has not recurred. Granted I’m pushing my RAM a good bit as it’s spec’d at 1600 (no BSOD’s prior to XP). One comment about Memtest. I’ve passed Memtest without issue only to find a memory failure in prime95. Try that stress test with your ram and see if you have issues there. I’ve found memtest to not be as reliable as I once hoped and thought it was. FWIW.
